This is the same card I use, a 20mb/second write speed. I can take about 5 fps with 10 MP pictures on raw, though it slows down after about 15 pictures.

If you don't want that slow down, search for another one, they have up to 90mb/second write speeds for 8 GB cards, at least that I know of.

But you still have the cameras' limit.

So the writing speed on a card doesn't really do much if the cameras limit is less?

Hmm I'll have to do more research

Digitral cameras have internal buffers they use to store and process images before they write the final version to the card. The speed of the memory in that buffer is one factor that determines the burst speed spec. You can get 3 frames per second or 5 frames per second, or whatever the spec is for your particular camera, up until the buffer is full. Once the buffer is full, then the speed of the flash memory card determines the burst speed.
